At a meeting in the streets of LA on April 13th, men in a strategically placed van gave everyone ammunition boxes filled with Resistance propaganda (fliers, stencils, buttons, stickers) and some people received boxes with cell phones. The phones had a note: "If you are 18 or over, and will be in the Los Angeles area Wednesday, April 18th we need you. If not, give this hardware to someone else. This phone is your membership card to the resistance. Within the next few days, we will use it to contact you with details of this first resistance meeting. It will get you and one friend through the door. Keep it charged, and keep it with you at all times. Most importantly, there are only 100 minutes on these phones, so use them up and you'll be SOL.

Using names and codes found on buttons at the ''Year Zero'' listening parties, new 'shards' have been found for [[The Mailstrom]]. They're currently being used and tested and a new site has been discovered: [http://www.themailstrom.com/gasoline_UUu891.htm here]

The lithograph given to those who fore-order Year Zero at the listening parties have a link on them to a website [http://www.themailstrom.com/ here]. On that page a link to [http://www.themailstrom.com/info.htm here]. Using information on the page, another site has been found [http://www.themailstrom.com/gallows_Y3RG7J.htm here].

An Art Is Resistance flier handed out at the 3/11/07 London show lead to a location underneath a bridge, revealing a large billboard that had operation swamp 0000 written on it. This led to the discovery of a new site [http://www.operationswamp0000.net here]. Clues on the website revealed a new website [http://www.operationchipsweep.net/ here]. New wiki pages for these sites are: [[Operation Swamp 0000]], and [[Operation Chip Sweep]]

Several USB drives given out before the [[Nine Inch Nails]] concert in London were revealed to contain both the high-resolution and low-resolution versions of the "[[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]]" video. The video had led to the discovery of three more sites.

The highly anticipated [[Closure#DVD|Closure]] DVD is leaked by a mysterious user on [http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3580314/Nine_Inch_Nails____Closure___DVD_disc_1_%28dual-layer_ISO%29 The Pirate Bay] called ''seed0'' ([http://thepiratebay.org/user/seed0/]) who is very likely to be from the NIN camp, because at the same time Trent made a post on his blog on [[The Spiral]] pointing at the release as a christmas present (''"12/21/06 : Happy Holidays! This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn't say that out loud). If you know what I'm talking about, cool."''). [http://www.portraitofdecay.com/www.nin-thespiral.com/blog6.php] The leak makes sense since the official release of the DVD was pushed back for years and Trent therefore finally released it his way.

+

Some days later ('''12.23.06''') the second disc of the aforementioned DVD followed via the same user ''seed0''. [http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3582292/Nine_Inch_Nails____Closure___DVD_disc_2_%28dual-layer_disc_ima] Even one week later ('''12.30.06''') the so called [[Broken Movie]] was released the same way (see also: [[Broken Movie#Release]]).

Trent hints at the release of the [[Closure#DVD|Closure DVD]] via [http://www.ninwiki.com/File:2004_07_13Questions1.gif nin.com/access].

Trent starts a section on nin.com where he (and sometimes other members of the NIN camp) answers fan submitted questions relatively frequent. The questions revolve over many different topics, but also focus on the then current development of [[With_Teeth_%28halo%29#Bleedthrough|Bleedthrough]] respectively [[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]. The questions and answers are archived at [[Nin.com/access]]. The last batch of questions are answered on '''7.19.05'''.

First mention of [[With_Teeth_%28halo%29#Bleedthrough|Bleedthrough]] which later evolved into [[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]. [http://www.theninhotline.net/news/permalink/1069560893], [http://www.theninhotline.net/news/permalink/1069729309]

===April 2001===

I got an email back from Alan Cross; he said that he has no idea where that rumor came from. Although even the official website for the radio station he works for mentions his personal review of "The Good Soldier" as being a "Moody, slower. Great grind-y bass synth groove. A natural pick for a single!" which can be found [http://www.edge.ca/station/blog_ongoing_history_of_new_music.cfm?bid=8236 here].
